Midwest Communications Revenue and Competitors

The 1990's brought radical changes in FCC ownership rules, and Midwest took advantage of the changes by consolidating in the Green Bay-Appleton/Oshkosh and Wausau-Stevens Point markets. The consolidation brought about the sale of the Des Moines, Lincoln and Hibbing stations and the acquisitions of WROE, WOZZ, WLTM, WNCY and WNFL in Green Bay- Appleton/Oshkosh and WSAU, WIFC, WOFM and WIZD in Wausau-Stevens Point. In addition, four stations WTVB, WNWN AM/FM and, WFAT were acquired in the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek, Michigan market.With the beginning of the new Millennium, Midwest continued its expansion program with the acquisition of WHBL, WWJR and WBFM in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and WHTC and WYVN in Holland, Michigan as well as the Duluth Minnesota/Superior Wisconsin market stations KDAL AM/FM, KRBR, KTCO, KXTP.Midwest Communications, Inc. and its' sister corporation, WRIG, Inc., continue to be owned by the D.E. Wright family and today employ approximately 400 people throughout the 28 station group.
